Asked By GamerGal123 On

Hey folks! I just discovered that my PC doesn't have an Ethernet port, and I'm looking to switch from Wi-Fi to a wired connection for better stability, especially for gaming. I've got two options in mind:

1. A USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter — super easy to use, just plug it in.

2. Installing a PCIe Ethernet network card — this involves opening my case, but I'm wondering if it'll provide a more stable connection.

My main concerns are about connection stability and speed, any noticeable latency differences, long-term reliability, and the real-world performance gap between the two. My internet connection is around 500 Mbps, and I do have USB 3.0 ports available. So, is a USB adapter enough, or should I invest in the PCIe option? Thanks for your input!
